## What is Focus Pause?

Open Instagram, TikTok, YouTube—or any app that tends to pull you in—and Focus Pause helps you stop for one breath before the scroll begins. Name your real purpose, set a limit, and decide with a clear mind whether you still want to continue.

NOT ANOTHER HARD BLOCKER
Focus Pause does not take your choice away. It adds a small moment of friction at the exact point an automatic habit starts. Continue when you have a reason. Walk away when you do not.

A COMPLETE HABIT LOOP
• Pause before opening: launch the Focus Pause flow automatically with iOS Shortcuts.
• Use with intention: choose or create a purpose, then set how long you plan to stay.
• Review what happened: see your open path, stop rate, recent sessions, and the app-purpose combinations that most often pull you through.
• Adjust the next attempt: refine a purpose, lengthen the breathing pause, or temporarily disable protection.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
• Protect 260+ popular apps
• See every protected app, today's opens, and current status from the new Home
• Use Brief Leave Protection when you step away briefly and return
• Keep focus records on your device; the developer does not collect personal data
• Available in English and Simplified Chinese

FREE & PREMIUM
The free version protects up to 2 apps and includes the core pause, purpose, and limit flow.

Premium unlocks:
• Unlimited protected apps
• Unlimited custom purposes for each app
• Per-app breathing style and duration, including increasing pauses
• Deeper review insights and longer-range analysis
